Optimal Rule-Out Biomarker Strategy Developed for Acute MI

Assessment of patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) represents a major clinical challenge, since the majority of patients do not have a final diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). More...

Field Performance for Rapid Detection of Influenza Virus Analyzed

Clinical differentiation of influenza A virus from infections caused by influenza B virus and the other viruses is unreliable, however effective antiviral treatment is only available for influenza A virus infections and must be administered early in the course of disease to be effective. More...

Sensitive Clinical Marker Defined for Ulcerative Colitis Evolution

The two main subtypes of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are characterized by episodes of inflammatory activity and remission and determination of disease activity remains challenging, with most clinical scores correlating poorly with the inflammatory state.

Combined Use of Assays Identifies Cancer Patient Response to Crizotinib

In screening of a large cohort for anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusions through both fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays, researchers found many non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who had negative and atypical FISH patterns accompanied with positive IHC results, who showed response to crizotinib treatment.
